Kyosho RT5 Build
#18
how cool is the quick connect on all for tires now,so cool able to switch or rotate tires for any combo,as long as they dont get alot of play i think it's great,the diff and shocks are the best i have felt..
#19
Even B4 guys are running RB5/RB5 SP shocks on their buggies.

It is pretty bad ass to have quick change on all four..... I've been doing it with a T4 for quite a while now..

Sorry.. didn't mean to hi-jack a RT5 thread with T4 mods!!!!!

Na, not really. As long as you normally run trailing axels, and not the in-line. Use XXXcr spindles (you'll have to shave down a couple mm's off the outside. The spindle arm is the same height as running 1 washer (which most run). and the arm length is very close. As for the Axel, just run a t4 axel and cut off the CVD end (leaving a lip) and cut off the threads. The pin hole is actually in the perfect location. Then there you have, rotating front axel. Then just slide the GT2 converstion over top.

I guess you're right on that! Actually, I've been thinking about jumping to an RT5 myself but I just have so many damn tires I'd have to boil off! And this truck only has about 3 months of running on it. However, I'm hoping to get a chance to wheel an RT5 this weekend. Another big factor is that stock or mod truck might die off this season in my area because everyone's running 2wd, 4wd, SPEC CORR, or Mod CORR.

Ok, so do the wheels fit on both the front and rear? The QC hubs are different front to rear on the RT5. And do my eyes deceive me or the kit comes with the velvet coated shock bodies?

It does use the same front and rear wheel. And your eyes are fine, it does have velvet coated bodies. It also has carbide diff balls.
